Second Shift

Second Shift Productions LTD. is an organization based in Downers Grove, Illinois, established in 2004. It helps organizations and individuals manage change, build capacity, and develop the skills needed to thrive. Its work focuses on helping nonprofit organizations strengthen fundraising while making effective use of their existing resources.

The company’s flagship offering, Fast Track Grant Writing, is a six-week e-learning program designed to equip nonprofit teams with practical skills for preparing compelling grant proposals and pursuing private and government funding. The course aims to help executive directors and their organizations increase fundraising capacity without increasing expenses. It also encourages participants to engage volunteers in fundraising, retain and grow current donors, and support programs and operations through increased revenue. The company presents the potential to generate up to $240,000 in new private revenue within 12 to 18 months as a program outcome, rather than a guarantee.

Second Shift Productions also offers a course agenda, grant-writing details, research and tools, and guidance related to innovative leadership and self-care programs.
